Any actions which communicate with the File Manager® server, such as expanding Browse Data Sets, will prompt the user with Login dialog (unless credentials have previously been saved). A user's login can be saved by selecting the Remember password checkbox from the Login dialog. To edit the user/password right click on the system tree node and click Update Login Details to show the Login dialog. However, doing so will cause any active connection(s) to the host to be forcibly closed. It is highly recommended to save or discard any changes and close any open edit sessions before updating the login details.
